Biting Biting: Snacking Gujarati-Style

  • About

Gujaratis are renowned for their farsan, which basically means ‘salty snacks’. My Masis and Kakis all have their specialities and will bring them round when they pop over. I love the banter in the kitchen about whose is the best and which adaptations they have made with western-style tastes and ingredients.

At my wedding I insisted on homemade farsan for my guests and during the week before everyone – even the men – set about making enough for 1000 people. We had a production line going with Mum in charge of course. It was so joyful, with memories and stories of Tanzania being shared, and knuckles being rapped for those of us stealing bites.
